[gptalk] Re: MS Releases GPMC Speed-Up Fix for Vista and W2KOcho

Thanks Jerry-

Would be interesting to see if this is the result of a bug I filed with the
product group on behalf of a poster to this list related to how they were
querying AD.

Didn’t see this posted or discussed yet. MS Posted this KB article on
December 16th, 2008. I just completed testing today.

Results of installing this hotfix are reasonably ‘Great!’ from my
perspective. (We have ~ 2,300 GPOS).

 

On computers that are running Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1,
RSAT GPMC has long delays in domain environments that have many GPOs

Article ID: 959438 - Last Review: December 16, 2008 - Revision: 1.0

Test results launching GPMC from a virtual location using Vista 32 bit + SP1
+ RSAT device.

 

Prior to Hotfix

   Starting GPMC: Averaged 1 min – 32 seconds

   Switching GPOs while on Scope tab: Averaged 36 seconds to display data

   Delegation tab and Click on Advanced button: Averaged 1 min 42 secs

 

After Installing the Hotfix

   Starting GPMC: Averaged 36 seconds ç Awesome!

   Switching GPOs while on Scope tab: Averaged 4 seconds to display data ç
Great!

   Delegation tab and Click on Advanced button: Averaged 1 min 36 secs    ç
No significant change, so MS take a look at this next.
